Elliott BROOD release new video for "A Month Of Sundays" and summer tour dates

While giving context to her new song, Skye Wallace paralleled many people’s pandemic existence, especially my own: “We often say everything is fine when it’s not. On the other hand, we can tell ourselves ‘everything is fine’ just to keep going.”

Six Shooter Inc. (management company) welcomes N’famady Kouyaté to the artist roster, managed by Chris Wynters. Originally from Guinea, now based in Wales, N’famady’s dazzling balafon playing is the foundation of his exuberant and skilful mix of West African Mandingue with jazz, pop and beyond.

Skye Wallace’s latest single, “Everything Is Fine,” emerges from the deep to remind us that saying it doesn’t always make it so (but it sure can help). This repetition of a new mantra, which also serves as hook and outro, offers much needed reassurance. “Everything Is Fine” is accompanied with a beautiful video that follows the day in the life of a creature trying to get by in Toronto.

The Deep Dark Woods’ Ryan Boldt pays tribute to a songwriting hero in his take on Tucker Zimmerman’s “Hangin’ Loose.” Updated with psychedelic keys and Boldt’s wavering vocals, this new version casts a contemporary yet somber light on the traditional original, creating an eerie sense of solitude in true Deep Dark Woods fashion.

With the release of “Sing Me a Song,” William Prince and Serena Ryder cement a blossoming friendship and collaborative relationship that has been growing since they shared the stage to perform Prince’s “The Spark” at the 2021 JUNO Awards. In “Sing Me a Song,” the two master songwriters add together call and response verses that create a powerful equation for the magic of young love’s early encounters.

The Dead South have released Easy Listening for Jerks, Parts 1 & 2. While these two collections of songs come from vastly different genres, they’re united both in their themes of struggle and adversity, and by the band’s telltale bluegrass blueprint. 

In her new video for “Truth Be Told,” the song’s theme of radical self-acceptance comes to life as Skye Wallace rocks out in a kaleidoscope of colourful identities, each one fitting like a glove. It takes guts to embrace who you are, flaws and all.

Tanya Tagaq, whose new album Tongues arrived last week, delivers a new video for “Colonizer,” which witnesses the destruction of symbols and perpetrators of the residential school system. Unrelenting and direct, “Colonizer” is a song that distills 500 years of settler, church and government wrongdoing into 4 words: Oh. You’re. Guilty. Colonizer. 

Are you prepared? JULY TALK have released their new video for “I Am Water,” which casts the band in an overgrown, over-stocked home before voyaging through a forest clad in emergency ponchos. When it comes to JULY TALK, always expect the unexpected.

Tanya Tagaq’s newest album, Tongues, enters deep chasms and dangerous spaces. Produced by Saul Williams and mixed by Gonjasufi, Tagaq’s Tongues speaks not to horrors and crisis, as previous Tagaq albums wordlessly, powerfully encircled, but directly of these things.
